DESIGN FLAW?
just out of curiosity, if the plane had a complete and total electrical failure, would you blame the design of the takeoff warning system for not warning the pilots?
I think this thread should be locked, and a NEW one created. TITLE: Official Report Results Madrid Crash.
Every gadget has its limitations. Every gadget has its own set of instructions to the user to make it work right.
IF the plane crashed because flaps/slats were not set properly, then BLAME SPANAIR for not training its pilots and mechanics about the plane and its systems. AND BLAME EVERY DUMB ASS CHIEF PILOT FOR NOT DEMANDING A "KILLER ITEM" CHECK ON THE RUNWAY.
